Daughter Of Careful-ish

“A thoroughly engaging and heartfelt read…that includes laugh-out-loud scenes.”
-- Dianne Woodman, Bestsellers World

It starts with a hangover. Could it end with an international incident?

The Joy (yes, that’s what she calls herself) is the crazy glue holding together this group of reprobates. Meet six tight friends who are the picture of social, financial and ethnic diversity. They’re also struggling together through the crazy new normal of life during lockdown in New York City.

Just as they’re hitting their stride, The Joy is called to care for her icy mother in steamy Florida, where HOA rules are strict and the neighbors are loose.

Meanwhile, The Joy’s roommate Kimi is left alone to balance fear of commitment with an even greater fear of coming out to her Chinese parents. They have no idea their number one daughter is engaged to a Cuban-American princess.

The rest of the friends are stumbling their way through a stream of episodes involving poor judgment, a public fall from grace, a boss from hell, an in-home ninja training gym, a startling romance, and (nothing new here) too many cocktails.

They’re young adults learning about life, the universe, themselves and their responsibilities—but is it an education wasted? And might her mother’s vindictive nature impact world affairs? (Golf is involved.) Click the BUY NOW button at the top and make six crazy new friends today.

A thoroughly engaging and heartfelt read…wonderfully portrayed divergent characters…a satirist approach to a serious subject matter that includes laugh-out-loud scenes.

“Shockingly and hilariously ‘uncareful-ish’… The real beauty of this juicy read is that…the realities of the pandemic become someone else’s problem…’”
